Arnold Schwarzenegger: last action hero
Everybody knows his movies. Everybody knows that he’s a brutal, strong man. Really a hero, but I suppose that nobody can retell his own story. His way filled by good and bad. The life of Arnold was inforgetable and unique. Schwarzenegger clearly the man of many parts and let me present some facts and maybe surprise you.
So… he was born in small village in Austria. Schwarzeneggers wasn’t a rich family and Arnold helped the parents around the house. It was the time then austrians were afraid of soviet armies and were waiting for the invaision and the father, Alois, was a policeman, so, brothers Schwarzeneggers grew up in the strict atmosphere and were accustomed to the discipline. It helped to Arnold then he choose the bodybuilding as a way to USA. The way to the big world of cinema, culture and notoriety.
Arnold is very stubborn and obstinate person. He won some competitions in Europe in the age of 20 and was invited by Joe Weider, the famous publisher of magazines for the bodybuilders, in the USA. Then he came on the West, in California, he understood that he want to stay here.
Future actor was hard-working. When Arnold started his career, he had got 100 dollars of allowance if I don’t lie. He was helping Joe Weider with the articles, was working like a builder with some of his friends.
He founded the mail orders firm, he bought some ground areas and buildings in Los Angeles to demise them. He was studying in the college and was making a career of bodybuilder at the same moment. After all he became an actor as he dreamed. The top of Arnold’s aspirations was the post of Californian’s governor for two periods.
“You see, Arnold,” he said, and I can still clearly hear his voice with a canadian accent, “ you want to work, you want to build your body, you’re a real machine, you’re an incredible person. You’re nothing like those lazy bums!»
These words of Weider are from Arnold’s book.
I read his autobiographical book under the title “Total recall”. I don’t like idols and I don’t have the plans to be a famous actor, but Schwarzenegger’s humour, cheerfulness, persistence are an example for me.
You can become everything even if you were nothing!
Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it!
